The Old Burying Grounds of Massachusetts in Autumn

November 17, 2009 By 2 Comments

Mass­a­chu­setts is rich in his­tory and old ceme­ter­ies. To visit and pho­to­graph the Old Bury­ing Grounds of Mass­a­chu­setts in Autumn is incred­i­ble. The old maple trees are huge and beau­ti­ful, with bright fall col­ors of yel­lows, oranges and reds. The last trip to Mass­a­chu­setts we went out look­ing for dead rel­a­tives for our geneal­ogy project. You see both my wife and  I have ances­tors in the area that date back to the first set­tlers of this great coun­try.  Find­ing grave stones of many of our ances­tors is a thrill and try­ing to imag­ine what life was like back then. I would like to sit down to din­ner with our ances­tors to visit with them to find out what they were like. The pho­tos in this gallery were shot in the town ceme­ter­ies of Ipswich, Har­vard, Shirley, Essex, Gro­ton, New­bury­port and Lex­ing­ton.  It’s a step back in time.  It’s a chance to under­stand what our Found­ing Father’s sac­ri­ficed for us.

Summertime Around the Streets of Aspen Colorado

August 29, 2009 By 2 Comments

Aspen Col­orado started out as a sil­ver min­ing town in 1879.  Today Aspen is the ski town of the rich and famous in the win­ter. But , in the sum­mer, the rest of us can enjoy the beauty of the areas in and around Aspen.  There’s camp­ing and rea­son­able priced lodg­ing at the many ski con­dos around Aspen and Snow­mass Vil­lage.  The pho­tos in this  gallery were shot around the back streets of Aspen with beau­ti­ful Vic­to­rian homes, cot­tages and gar­dens. So, don’t miss Aspen in the summer.

The Ghosts Of Leadville Colorado in HDR

July 27, 2009 By 1 Comment

The pho­tos in this gallery were shot in and around Leadville Col­orado. Leadville is an old min­ing town set at an ele­va­tion over 10000 feet above sea level. Vis­it­ing the old build­ings around the town bring up thoughts of  ghosts from the 1880’s. Each photo  in this Gallery starts off as 3 sep­a­rate pho­tographs at 3 dif­fer­ent expo­sures  and com­bined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range. This allows one to see the detail in the shad­ows and high­lights. It also has the abil­ity to cre­ate some pretty cool spe­cial effects.

Wildflowers of Westcliffe

July 7, 2009 By 3 Comments

West­cliffe Col­orado is a small ranch­ing town located in a val­ley between the San­gre De Cristo Moun­tains and the Wet Moun­tains. The large amount of rain this spring  has con­tributed to an abun­dance of wild­flow­ers around West­cliffe.  Some of the pho­tos were also shot nearby at Bish­ops Cas­tle,  a strange quirky place in the heart of the Wet Moun­tains.  Kids love hik­ing through the castle.
